Follow the right steps below:
1. Set the [LINE/USB] switch on the stereo channel to [USB].
2. Press the [ST] switch for the stereo channel that you set to USB and channels connected to mics.
3. Turn on all channels to be used, and adjust the levels as necessary.
4. Turn on the [PFL] switch for the stereo channel that you set to USB.
Only this channel can be monitored. Audio from mics connected to other channels will not be audible.
5. Click the monitoring button in the DAW software.
You can hear the input audio signal via the DAW software.
